Adopting a Chihuahua

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Chihuahua - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost to adopt a Chihuahua is around $300 to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying a Chihuahua from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $500 to $1,500.

You can get a Chihuahua from your local animal shelter or rescue organization, or a pure breed rescue group. Find all the Chihuahuas in your area on Adopt A Pet.

The easiest way to adopt a Chihuahua would be through a rescue that specializes in Chihuahuas. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Chihuahuas in your area.

Chihuahua fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Chihuahua was first imported to the United States from the Chihuahua region (the word means "dry, sandy place") of Mexico in the mid-1800s.

Relative to their teeny-tiny body size, they are the most intelligent dog breed. Also, the smallest living dog in the world happens to be a Chihuahua. "Brandy" is in the Guinness Book of Records for being six inches from tip to tail.

Chihuahuas are popular in Hollywood. Ren of The Ren & Stimpy Show is a Chihuahua, and there was even a 2008 film titled Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Paris Hilton started the Chihuahua celebrity craze, even creating a two-story "Doggie Mansion" for her dogs.
